Description: In the early 1950s members of an unidentified Japanese American family grow decorative flowers as a crop, showing the camera beautiful blooms of market-ready daffodils and hyacinths on their farm in Contra Costa County. With an eye for blossoms wherever they go, the family also visits a new home in the suburbs, and takes in the huge public reception for General Douglas MacArthur at San Francisco's Civic Center. With a reunion of Japanese American people, and with neon signs at night.
